Items could not be given.
Mr.. Chambers wanted to know II the
City Solicitors bill was included In

and then live on wind.
Mr.. Cham bers said that as be would
Ike to know the full amount of the tx
penses hs would move to lay the n atter
over for one week, until the City So
lici,or's bill was presented. This was
opposed By Mr.. Merris Taylor, who
taid he could not see any reason for
postponipg the matter, as the two bills
had no connection whatever.
Mr.. Blake defended the ommittee,
and said that they had teen the most
economical committee he ever saw.
Mr.. Norton said that he would vote for
this bill hat that it would be the last
one, af he thought all this business
should be attended to by the Law Com.

had not spent much for liquor, as they
could not get anything but applejack.

amin alton as mater of justice 10 the
tax payers OF the city, but when vote
